Over a guy who was convicted of and did time for holding a pistol to a pregnant woman’s stomach while he and his friends robbed her? We can say a lot of things here, his death was tragic, and it shouldn’t have happened for sure. Calling this man a hero and holding him up as the symbol when in the video he’s seen resisting arrest multiple times, and was hopped up on Meth and Fentanyl, seems like we’re laying a layer of ******** on this.

But seriously, holding a pistol to a pregnant woman’s stomach? That’s a special kind of sick and demented.

An innocent black man is effectively lynched in broad daylight and racists like yourself find a way to defame his character. That is sick and demented. If you had any character or soul, you should be ashamed.
Regarding your topic question, the country is not rioting, its peacefully protesting over the same lynching incident. For the most part, the peaceful protesters are being treated well except for when they are being pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed by an idiotic, out-of-control president.

Innocent? He was passing counterfeit 20's. Did the cop murder him yes. But don't pretend like he was innocent. Does peaceful protesting include burning down businesses of hardworking Americans? You are the sick communist bastard.

Those protestors in front of the white house were far from peaceful.

We get it you hate and despise the right. You would love to see all of us piled up and burnt to a crisp. It's why you're a communist.

He wasn’t innocent, but his death was uncalled for. He was by any measure, a terrible person, that aside, he didn’t deserve to be murdered. He did deserve to have his *** arrested and stand trial for his crimes.

That said, defaming his character. I’m addressing his character, his actions alone defamed his character. I mean, holding a pistol to a woman’s stomach while robbing her and then pistol whipping her? He’s an unmitigated piece of **** as a human being. Still deserved to allow the system of law to try him for his counterfeit money scheme and his resisting arrest.

An innocent black man is effectively lynched in broad daylight and racists like yourself find a way to defame not use his character as a means to glorify him. That is logical and reasonable sick and demented. If you had any character or soul, you should be ashamed.

For the most part, the peaceful protesters are being treated well except for when they start rioting and looting and are then are being pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed by their local authorities an idiotic, out-of-control president.

George Floyd’s Criminal Past
  • George Floyd moved to Minneapolis in 2014 after being released from prison in Houston, Texas following an arrest for aggravated robbery
  • On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store in Minneapolis
  • He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest
  • Floyd has more than a decade-old criminal history at the time of the arrest and went to jail for atleast 5 times
  • George Floyd was the ringleader of a violent home invasion
  • He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records
  • Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest
  • He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest
  • Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail
  • He had another stint for a theft in August 1998
According to court records obtained by the DailyMail, before moving to Minneapolis in 2014, George Floyd was released from prison in Texas. He worked as a bouncer at a local restaurant.


Floyd had been sentenced to five years in prison in 2009 for aggravated assault stemming from a robbery where Floyd entered a woman’s home, pointed a gun at her stomach and searched the home for drugs and money, according to court records
Floyd along with another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department wearing a blue uniform in order to enter a woman’s house. When the woman retaliated a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.


The final straw for Floyd came after serving five years in prison in 2009 for aggravated assault stemming from a robbery where he entered a woman’s home, pressed a gun into her stomach and searched the home for drugs and money, according to court records (pictured)
The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.

‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

Not finding any drugs or money at the house, the men took jewelry and the woman’s cell phone and fled in their car. A neighbor who witnessed the robbery took down the car’s license plate number.

Later, police tracked down the car and found Floyd behind the wheel. He was later identified by the woman as the large suspect who placed a gun against her stomach and forced her into her living room, the document states.


Floyd had at least five stints in jail. In one of the charging documents, officials noted Floyd had two convictions in the 1990s for theft and delivery of a controlled substance, but it is not clear if Floyd served any time for either of those offenses
Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine. Floyd had two other cocaine offenses, receiving an eight month-sentence stemming from an October 2002 arrest and was sentenced to 10 months from a 2004 arrest.

Floyd was arrested in April 2002 for criminal trespassing and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He did another stint for theft with a firearm in August 1998. He served 10 months at Harris County jail.

In one of the charging documents, officials noted Floyd had two convictions in the 1990s for theft and delivery of a controlled substance, but it is not clear if Floyd served any time for either of those offenses.

All of this is what's known as a career criminal.

Which time? On this one? No, sadly, he wasn’t given an option. That’s the travesty here. Justice was denied being served to the man. On the time for robbing a woman at gunpoint to her womb and pistol whipping her? Yes and was convicted.

I believe the country is rioting because they were locked in their houses for 3 months, put in financially difficult situations, they know the government ****ed them by giving them a couple dollars and bailing out major corporations and banks. Then they had to push a divisive message to make sure the citizens stayed split instead of everybody being unified against the federal government because they know they all got ****ed.
I am pretty sure this was the first BLM protest during a pandemic. Now splain for me why other protests in the past turned into riots......Trump wasn't POTUS then.....

I'm not arguing for BLM, it is a far left movement with many other goals they hide, but they aren't wrong about police killing people and getting away with it and this time it just so happens they got it on camera while the man was begging for his like and the man killing him looking right in the camera with no remorse. YA that's going to piss off a lot of people and pissed off people can be led. Nobody else was speaking up about police killing people so anybody that is pissed off about it has 1 movement to get behind. I was pissed off about it just a few months ago and everyone here made excuse after excuse for the murderers.
But this is not the same in the past they were never propped up and encouraged by media and celebrities in the same way. The initial reaction is the same but then it is driven in the direction that people with power want it directed.

If you didnt have video of instances before how do you know the police were murderers?

This is the shallow liberal mind at work. Everything is black and white.

The one he is referencing was pretty bad as I recall.
It very well could be. It was the wording that struck me odd. He says that brutality is clear but this time it was caught on video.

I dont know how any case is going to be clear without either video or eyewitness testimony and we learned in Missouri that eyewitness testimony can be blatently wrong or dishonest.

Daniel Shaver in AZ this one is hard to watch

I dont know what that call was about or why those people were being arrested but that unless that kid had a gun on his right hip that he was reaching for that was worse than the george Floyd murder.

"...humanely shot him in the head..." LOL. How exactly do you do that? Hold his hand while you do it.
No sir , walk up & shoot..quick & easy .
With having said that I would not be qualified for the job , dont think I have it in me unless it would have been my daughter or wife, but there is people amongst us who could do it while eating a cheeseburger & I say put that skill to work, yes this method would be applied to the cop .

I just started the wire last weekend. Don't know what took me so long. Haven't made it very far but has been great so far.
Don’t lose faith in Season 2, which is personally my favorite, it gets back to West Baltimore in season 3.
